Jeremy Rifkin: Crowdfunding is Part of Collaborative Commons Economy - Crowdfund Insider

Jeremy Rifkin: Crowdfunding is Part of Collaborative Commons Economy - Crowdfund Insider | Peer2Politics | Scoop.it

Jeremy Rifkin, the founder of the ‘Foundation on Economic Trends’, is an economic and social theorist, advisor to sovereign nations (China, France et al) and an overall big thinker that looks to the future with the benefit of a profound knowledge of the past.  While most of us toil in our day – to – day routines struggling to manage the changes in our immediate world, Rifkin is charting a path for his vision of future society.  In his most recent work, Rifkin associates crowdfunding and peer to peer lending as factors in his prognosis of our future economic system.

JoatU launches $25,000 crowdfunding campaign

JoatU launches $25,000 crowdfunding campaign | Peer2Politics | Scoop.it

JoatU is a transitional application that allows us to smoothly transition into a post-capitalist, heavily (and happily) unemployed world.  There may be fewer jobs, but that isn’t to say there isn’t work.  We are trading financial capital for social capital (Jeremy Rifkin) and JoatU allows us to begin measuring and rewarding the people who work hardest for our communities.  No longer is a good deed just its own reward.  You get a reward on top of that!  And if you don’t think you ought to receive such a reward?  Pass it along to someone else as a gift!
